Basic tools used in quantum mechanics/information theory

A Basic Quantum Informatics Toolkit for Mathematica

License: MIT

Description

This is a collection of basic tools and useful syntax for doing quantum information in Mathematica.

At the moment the package is quite rudimentary; it is a partial spin-off of the basic quantum information theoretic tools used for the package: homological-tools-4QM-mathematica.

Included are: basic ket syntax wrappers, wrappers for GHZ/W states, partial trace operations, permutations of tensor factors, and functions for computing von Neumann entropy, (multipartite) mutual information and its generalizations.

In the future I will add some basic gate operations.

An interactive quick start guide/minimal documentation is included in quick_start.nb.

Most functions are documented. (If we are interested in a function functionOfInterest, a description can be found by evaluating ??functionOfInterest.)
